The 2025 Race for Hope-DC took place this past Sunday, May 4, collectively raising a grand total of almost $1.1 million by event day, benefiting the National Brain Tumor Society.

David Cook and his Team for a Cure were among the top fundraising teams again this year, with fundraising continuing through the end of May. Since 2009, David and his fans have raised approximately $1.8 million for brain cancer and brain tumor research through the Race for Hope-DC and other fundraising projects.

Friday evening, David performed a full-band show Jammin’ Java in Vienna, VA, which was also live-streamed via Volume, with all proceeds from the event and live stream benefiting the Team.
